Measure Up

[Verse 1]
I'm always sayin' your friends don't know who they are
They see the world from afar
They're laughing, but deep inside they close their minds
Their heart is a book of blackened eyes

When we're out on the town, and I say you look fine
But you just call it a lie
The girls on the television all declare:
"You've got an obligation to compare!"

[Pre-Chorus]
"A little more right here
A little less up there and you'll do
Just a bit of a change and a six-figured figure

Magazines, and models are all the rage"
- Same to me. They're nothing but paper
You cry because you couldn't measure up

[Chorus]
Hey! Sweet Ann, baby!
Why ya got to to take this out on me?
Your friends keep jabbin' an open scar
And always diggin' too hard

I don't particularly
Give a damn for their hypocrisy
'Cause when they talk and you've had enough
Oh, ya take it out on me!

[Verse 2]
I'm always havin' to drag you away from the mall
Designer labels and all
The cost of your brand new accessory
Is more than just a waste of money, honey

It's the times when you sob at the end of the day
I hurt to see you that way
If fashion's the reason for the rules you break
I'd rather see you plain than act so fake

[Pre-Chorus]
"A little more right here
A little less up there and you'll do
You're so easy to mold when your sculptor's a doctor

Magazines, and models are all the rage"
- Same to me. They're nothing but paper
You cry because you couldn't measure up

[Big Al Scat Solo]

[Chorus]
Hey! Sweet Ann, baby!
Why ya got to to take this out on me?
Your friends keep jabbin' an open scar
And always diggin' too hard

I don't particularly
Give a damn for their hypocrisy
'Cause when they talk and you've had enough
Oh, ya take it out on me!
